Higher level learning: Universities and employers working together

This publication is a timely reminder of the innovative ways in which universities are providing skilled graduates for all sections of the economy.

Working with employers is key to this: as the higher education sector begins to operate in a competitive market, employer-led provision will enable delivery of the skills that the labour market needs, and that students want.

Professor Julie Lydon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of South Wales, discusses the importance of part-time and mature students and the future needs of employers. Universities UK is launching a new project to look at the matter.
